We are in the process of putting together our schedule for fall 2011.
We plan to cover 12 regular-season football games involving all four Hancock County schools -- plus our partners at HCSNRadio.com will be adding a 13th. We will be covering the Warren Central Classic on Aug. 27 -- involving New Palestine and Mt. Vernon in back-to-back games -- and the New Palestine vs. Delta game from Lucas Oil Stadium on Sept. 10. Our broadcast schedule begins with New Palestine vs. Whiteland from Kelso Stadium on Aug. 19.
First of all, we can't do this without you -- our listeners. Like our Facebook page, follow our Twitter feed and make sure you're telling everyone you can about HancockCountySports.com!
Second of all, we are looking for locally-minded companies who want to promote their businesses on Hancock County Sports. If you want to reach a growing local audience for a very low cost and support our broadcasts that enhance the student-athlete experience in Hancock County, please contact Andrew Smith at this address.
Our broadcast schedule is flexible -- we can add games depending on sponsors' desires.
So contact us, and keep posted for the full fall sports schedule!

Friday Game of the Week preview: G-C at Yorktown
On Friday night, Jim Ryan and myself will be making the trek to Yorktown for a visit from the Greenfield-Central Cougars. If you can't make the trip, we'd invite you to listen to our broadcast.
The game is the first of our weekend doubleheader. On Saturday, we'll bring you the New Palestine Dragons and Batesville Bulldogs from Lucas Oil Stadium. We'll preview that game tomorrow. Let's preview our first game tonight. (if you want the rest of the Hancock County & HHC games, read the post below).
TGD Hancock County Game of the Week
Greenfield-Central (1-2/0-2) at Yorktown (2-1/1-1)
Pregame 7 p.m., Kickoff 7:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 11, 2009
Hear it here at Audio Sports Online.
The coaches:
G-C: Roger Dodson (4th year at G-C, 10-24; 16th year overall, 74-83)
Yorktown: Mike Wilhelm (5th year at Yorktown, 26-20)
Last season: Yorktown won 28-7.
The series: Yorktown has won six straight games in the series and is 8-2 since the two teams began playing each other in 1999 (when YHS joined the HHC).
Scouting the Cougars: The Cougars started off very well against New Castle, but have struggled in their first two weeks of conference play, being outscored 63-3 by Pendleton Heights and Delta. Coach Dodson's team has a lot of numbers out and a very experienced receiving corps led by Michael Dickerson, who has 113 yards receiving in three games. John White, Ethan Irbe and Kevin Bordenkircher all have experience in the passing game. They've split between two quarterbacks -- Carl Ellison and Trent Colclazier. Both are 11-for-26 on the year. While Brady Conger (104 yards vs. New Castle) is the top running back, wingbacks/wideouts White and Dickerson are among a handful of players who will carry the ball. The Cougars will be looking to tighten their defense against the run, as they have allowed at least 200 yards on the ground each week so far. The Cougars are hoping they turn a corner this year, as they've come off back-to-back 4-win seasons -- close to reaching the .500 mark for the first time since their 2002 HHC championship team.
Scouting the Tigers: Yorktown has been involved in shutouts the last two weeks -- on opposite ends. After a 32-0 loss to Mt. Vernon in which little seemed to go right, the Tigers did all of the scoring in last week's 16-0 victory over county rival Muncie South. Against MV, the stats were closer than the score, as Yorktown drove into MV territory multiple times, but came away emptyhanded, and then gave up some big plays that led to Marauder points. Last week, it was the Tigers doing all of the big playmaking, as they sacked Muncie South's QB several times. DE Joe Journay tied a school record with five sacks in the game. Yorktown likes to run the ball, and the feature back is junior RB Derek Kundenreich. He was a 1,500-yard rusher last season, and he hit the 100-yard mark for the second time this season last week. Speedy wingback/slot Brendon Barnes is the big-play guy. He had a 16-yard TD catch and a 34-yard reception to set up another score last week against Muncie South. Yorktown's D held Muncie South to 18 yards rushing last week. The Tigers have several players going both ways, led by 6-7, 275-pound lineman Kevin Ellis.
We're looking forward to bringing you this game ... 7 p.m. Friday night, as Jim Ryan and I bring you the Gridiron Digest Game of the Week.
Also, we like to spotlight our sponsors, and we'll invite you to enjoy the many services offered by Hancock Telecom. Hancock Telecom offers digital TV, phone, high-speed Internet and super-fast fiber-to-your-home connections. They also offer a locally-based home security solution.

It's almost kickoff
We're just a few hours from seeing the lights turned on across the state, but this week, there will be one big event at a local game that should garner a lot of attention -- Greenfield-Central is renaming the field at Cougar Stadium for longtime coach Clayton Myers.
Thirty-six years ago, on a cold November night, that field saw one of the highlights of G-C's athletic history -- Myers' Cougars defeating Blackford 21-12 to win the first-ever IHSAA Class 2A football title.
It was 1973. Nobody really knew what playoff football would be like -- after all, for all of its history, IHSAA teams played their 10 regular-season games and then let the pollsters determine a champion, much like the collegians do now. There were fake punts, teams going for it on fourth down, and all sorts of interesting things going on. Nobody wanted to flinch. The Cougars got a couple of big plays and managed to walk away with the big trophy.
Myers was the coach at Greenfield High School before the school merged with Hancock Central in 1969, and then had to shepherd the program through the always-difficult part of merging players what had been two rival programs and two rival communities into one. The 1973-74 senior class was the second to go all the way through the newly-consolidated school, and left quite a stamp. Two years later, G-C would return to the title game, but would fall to Mishawaka Marian.
Myers has left a large legacy. Many of his former players had sons play for the Cougars. A handful went into coaching -- including state champion coach Sherwood Haydock of Harding. Myers was very well-respected by his players and peers at G-C and is receiving an honor this weekend that is very, very due him.
The spoils are still there -- a framed team photo and a golden football on a base sitting in a small trophy case near G-C's gymnasium, a worn football with the 21-12 score etched into the side, remembering a night when the stadium was ringed with bleachers, the local TV stations descended on Greenfield, and the Cougars delivered the first IHSAA championship of any kind to Hancock County. We've seen success since elsewhere in the county -- Eastern Hancock won the Class A title in 1985, New Palestine was the 3A runner-up five years later -- and in other sports, where all four county schools have won at least one IHSAA title in their histories.
But the field where it all happened will help us remember those teams -- Clayton Myers Field.
The Cougars' game against HHC leader Delta begins at 7:30 p.m.
You can also enjoy the CCSN GID Game of the Week: Pendleton Heights at New Palestine, also at 7:30 p.m. Friday. Pregame coverage at 7 here.
